Using the Options page

The Options page in the Parts List Properties dialog box consolidates parts list-specific content selection properties in one location. It is where you specify item numbers, component types, and whether to generate a total length parts list.

Formatting item numbers

All properties that pertain to item number formatting are specified on the Options tab. You can:

Note:

The Maintain item numbers check box on the Item Numbers page (Solid Edge Options dialog box) in the assembly document controls whether item numbers are created in the assembly.

Selecting component types

You can include and exclude component types on the parts list—parts, pipes, pipe fittings, and frame members—and you can use the Move Up and Move Down buttons to change the component type display order.

You can sort the parts list by component type when you select the Component Type Order option on the Sorting page. You also can change the display order of information derived from the model document properties. Examples of these properties include file name, item number, quantity, material type, and material properties.

Specifying a total length or cut length parts list

A total length parts list shows all pipes and frame members derived from the same component displayed as a total length on the same row.

A cut length parts list (A) shows each frame member or pipe that is a different length displayed on a different row.

Note:

Cut length can be synchronized with Teamcenter. The value appears as a Note in Product Structure Editor.

It is easy to generate either type of parts list for pipes and frames. See the Help topic, Create a total length parts list.
